Libre Vmax II By jhn.holgate, in Buggy, August 20, 2009. I'm going to get a Tornado when I scrape enough cash together and I haven't decided what to do with this one yet, my axle (heavy galvanised pipe, solid stubs) is intact and might be available if I break the buggy up, or I might keep it as a spare anyway.

My own buggy is/was a V-max copy and with many modifications it has just been to it's 3rd Interational championship.Īnneski - I finally killed my buggy, the headstock is falling to pieces.

I would be quite happy to contemplate a 20-30km run along a beach somewhere. Libre V Max Buying Justification Ive been toying with the idea of getting a buggy for two years now. I've had several 1 - 1 1/2 hour sessions in the Vmax and been very comfy. But it's not really designed for freestyle - not that I'm experienced enough to try that. It's not a particularly light buggy - 25KG. Accessories Radical3 UL Revolt Ultra Slope Speedy III Spirit II Vampir III Zebra Z1 Clothes/Accessory Media. I have been using it in my neighbor's paddock which is reasonably smooth and gives me about a 400m run but man, am I looking forward to getting this on a beach!! Everything feels solid, stable and secure. The only thing I've added are some foot loops to support the heels of my shoes. A splash guard is provided to keep the goo off. I've been pulled sideways a few times and always felt very secure. If there is resistance, undo the two nuts and tighten just the inside nut against the axle a little then do the two spanner trick again. There should be no play in the wheel but it should spin freely with no resistance. ![]() I got some good advice on adjusting the wheel nuts - slide the bolt into the wheel, do the inside nut up against the bearing finger tight, screw the whole assembly into the axle until the inner nut comes up against the axle, then tighten both inner nut and bolt head together with a pair of 30 spanners nice and firm. Just loosen the nuts, slide the downtube back or forwards to suit your leg length. ![]() The four bolts that clamp the downtube in place all have plastic sleeves to protect the downtube. The 20mm axle bolts are pretty impressive. All the bolts are stainless with nylock nuts. It didn't take too long to put together, it's sort of obvious where stuff goes. Do you know the feeling you get when you've bought a really nice bit of kit? Like a Nikon camera or Leica Binoculars? Something you spent more than you should have, but it doesn't matter because every time you use/touch it you think "ahh, this is really nice." This is the same feeling I get when I pick up my Vmax to move it or fiddle with it or in fact go buggying in it.
